I've gotten in the habit of saying "I can't complain" when someone asks me how I am, since "I'm fine" is rarely the truth. I like that response because it's kind of meta the way I use it: in my head it's short for "I can't complain to you because you don't actually want to know and being made to listen to my complaints would alienate you."
Yes, and if the other person does not seem to like, "I can't complain," I might add, "Well, I could, but it would not do any good."
